How do you know that?
What would happen if it wasn't working perfectly? Since it only affects
spelling (AFAIK), most people are blithely unaware of its existence. And how
does this "AUTO" work anyway? If it always serves up the memory required, why
is there an option to set it manually? How do you know it doesn't serve up too
much memory? Anyway, the setting has a big effect on spelling, especially
using non-U.S.English dictionaries, or toggling between various dictionaries.
4608 is probably enough. Expanded=4608, Extended=None, DPMI=Auto [none
required, AFAIK]
